17. FUNDING BUDGET ADJUSTMENT AND ACCEPT DONATION FROM APS-PALO VERDE TO PURCHASE ENERGY KITS FOR MARICOPA K-12 CLASSROOMS Approve and accept donation from APS-Palo Verde to the Maricopa County School Superintendent’s Office (MCSSO) to purchase Energy Classroom Kits for Maricopa K-12 schools. These Energy Classroom Kits are aimed to provide access to and enhance student experiential learning, technical skills, and critical real-world learning significant to education development and our future workforce in Maricopa County. Teachers in Maricopa County will check out the APS-Palo Verde Classroom Kits to implement lessons with their classrooms. The APS-Palo Verde non-competitive donation is in the amount of $5,459 for 20 Energy Kits. The Energy Kits will be purchased in February 2023 with teachers to begin to check-out the Energy Kits in June 2023. This is new one-time funding from APS-Palo Verde and is not expected to reoccur. The funding does not require an in-kind match. Indirect costs are not applicable for this donation. This is not a mandated function but provides a resource benefit to both Maricopa County teachers and students by removing teacher barriers to access classroom resources and technology and increase student experiential learning and technical skills for education and future workforce development. As a result of this funding and pursuant to A.R.S. §42-17106(B), approve an adjustment to the FY 2023 County School Superintendent (D370) Schools Grants Fund (715) Operating (OPER) revenues and expenditures budget in the amount of $5,459. Donations are not local revenues for the purpose of the constitutional expenditure limitation, and therefore expenditure of the revenues is not prohibited by the budget law. This budget adjustment does not alter the budget constraining the expenditure of local revenues duly adopted by the Board pursuant to A.R.S. §42-17105. Funding for this Agreement is provided by APS—Palo Verde and will not affect the County’s general fund. (C-37-23-039-X-00)
